In Ohio? Love animals? Looking for something to do? Here are some very worthwhile events going on soon across Ohio, to benefit animal protection and even help put a stop to puppy mills in our area. Thanks to Mary O'Connor-Shaver with columbustopdogs.com for sending this in.

Second Chances Dalmation Rescue (SCDR) will be hosting an annual golf tournament at Bent Tree Golf Club in Sunbury, Ohio on Saturday, May 31st. It's not too late to get in, just visit gotspots.org!

The Pet Expo in Bexley, Ohio will be held on Monday, June 2nd, and will be a free networking experience with multiple hosts specializing in animal training and pet adoption.  Just e-mail maryb@damesbond.com for more info.

The Second Annual PUP-A-PALOOZA is on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at Alum Creek Dog Park - OH. All proceeds will benefit the Alum Creek Dog Park, built and maintained by volunteers.

The Fifth Annual Par for Pets Golf Outing is on Saturday, June 14, 2008 at the Oakhaven Golf Club in Delaware, OH. This event is a major fundraiser for CHA Animal Shelter to benefit the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of the hundreds of homeless cats and dogs rescued annually by CHA. CHA is a non-profit animal shelter dedicated to finding permanent homes for homeless cats and dogs in Franklin County. For registration, sponsorships and details about the event visit CHA's website at chaanimalshelter.org or contact Gail Haugh at kidsncanines@insight.rr.com.

Dog Bone-anza 2008 is on Saturday, June 21st at the Bark Til Dark Dog Park in Delaware, OH. The Bone-anza grew from 2006-2007, so we hope for an even better turn out this year! They've changed and added some events (The Least Obedient Dog Contest should be fun!) that I think will include all dogs, whether they are talented or just plain cute. All proceeds will be donated to CHA Animal Shelter. For more information, contact Missi Hamilton at MISTYFLI@aol.com.
